A general recommendation here to the Scandinavian communities - you 
might seriously want to consider removing the forest/wood polygons from 
the old Corine landcover imports.  These are:

* factually very inaccurate, usually indicating this area is mostly tree 
covered rather than this area is actually forested.
* not aligned to other geometries, in particular water bodies.
* non-maintainable due to the polygons size leading to mappers widely 
drawing other stuff over it.

Examples:

Newly mapping wood areas from scratch here would likely lead to better 
and better maintainable data in the long terms.  You could even 
consider importing newer high quality data with a more sensible polygon 
size.
